Lighting Why blow into the light when you could blow out? Makes no sense to me

Precisely! Both scenarios make perfect sense, and I doubt one is hugely better than the other.
Here's another one. Heat rises, so it's also inefficient to blow downwards against the thermal current …

It may be silly, but for me it's kind of pertinent. I'm modding my lights with silent fans, which are by nature less efficient than stock fans, so a few extra degrees of cooling action is quite a big deal in the long run.

Did you test your theory yet? You got me thinking about fan/heatsink designs though. Like a rotary fan inside the heatsink body.

Someone stole my idea. Before I thought of it. Again.
This is just like Xmas '97, when I noticed sone one stole my easy throw shrubbery christmas light net idea. Time travel must have been invented in the future, and is probably being abused exclusively for IP theft and gambling purposes.
